Gary Anderson and Luke Littler delivered one of the greatest matches in the Grand Slam of Darts history as Littler made the final for the first time.
Luke Littler defeated Gary Anderson 16-15 after conceding seven legs in a row to go 11-4 behind in Wolverhampton.
The game was brimming with extraordinary quality, with both men checking out multiple 100+ finishes and averaging well over 100.
Fans were floored by what they were seeing and took to social media to celebrate the greatness of Littler and Anderson.
Fans stunned by Gary Anderson and Luke Littler
The game ebbed and flowed between both men, but Littler pulled off a remarkable comeback just like he did against Mike De Decker in the quarterfinals.
Littler earned his place in his first-ever Grand Slam of Darts final and fans were amazed by the quality of what they were seeing.
On X, one fan wrote: “Absolutely cracking darts, Luke Littler just doesn’t give up! Anderson was phenomenal and didn’t deserve to lose but Littler is different gravy.”
Another wrote: “The best game of darts I have ever seen, well done Littler and Anderson!” and one wrote: “What a game! Littler will romp the final.”
One wrote: “That is one of the best games of darts I’ve seen, Littler & Anderson!! I so wanted Anderson to win, but Luke Littler just won the match. Well played both of you.”
Littler plays Martin Lukeman in the final of the Wolverhampton event, with both men looking for their first-ever Grand Slam title.
It’s Luke Littler’s title to lose
The only person who can stop Littler at this point is The Nuke himself. The 17-year-old has been in inspired form in Wolverhampton and has a knack for getting himself out of a hole.
Lukeman more than deserves his place in the final, but if Littler continues the form he’s shown in the Grand Slam he’ll claim his second major of the year.
With his win over Anderson, Littler has claimed a place in the PDC Top 10. With a win over Lukeman in the final, he’ll enter the top 5.
At just 17 years old, it’s highly unlikely he’ll leave the top ten for at least a decade.
